Jang Dong-yoon and Kim Seung-yoon will hold their wedding ceremony at an undisclosed location on the 10th. The ceremony is scheduled to take place quietly in the form of a worship service, attended only by family members and close relatives from both sides.
Ahead of the wedding, the couple shared wedding photos on their respective social media accounts. They both posted the message, “My love, my life, my muse, my home,” expressing their affection for one another.
Jang Dong-yoon and Kim Seung-yoon’s relationship began in 2019 on the KBS2 drama *Joseon Romance: Nokdujeon*. At the time, Kim Seung-yoon made his acting debut through this series. Subsequently, the two reunited as director and actor in the 2023 short film *Be My Ears*, directed by Jang Dong-yoon, and in their first feature film *Nurok*, which was released this past April. Kim Seung-yoon played the lead role in both films.
Last month, Jang Dong-yoon announced the news in a handwritten letter, stating, “I am getting married to someone I’ve been with for a long time.” He explained that they had come to understand and cherish each other through the time they spent together, and expressed his hope that they would live happily as each other’s closest support.
Born in 1992, Jang Dong-yoon made his debut in the 2016 web drama *Female Employees at a Game Company*. Since then, he has appeared in *School 2017*, *Joseon Romance: The Green Bean War*, *Morning Comes to the Psych Ward*, and *Flowers Bloom Even in the Sand*, and has recently expanded his scope to include film directing.
